ABOUT THE GRUFFALO’S CHILD
The Gruffalo’s Child is the delightful sequel to the Academy Award-nominated short, The Gruffalo, based on the beloved children’s book written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler. This story, narrated by an all-star cast, is sure to be a family favorite! We would love to send you the book to read then review the movie!
In The Gruffalo’s Child, the Gruffalo tells his child an extraordinary story of “The Big Bad Mouse,” warning her never to go in the woods alone because there is a terrible creature lurking there. Waiting until her father falls asleep, the Gruffalo’s Child sneaks out into the deep dark woods to see The Big Bad Mouse for herself. Along the way she runs into a snake, an owl, and a fox and discovers that while they have similar features to The Big Bad Mouse, they are, in fact, not him. Just as she is about to give up her search, she stumbles upon a tiny mouse. Cautious of her, the mouse listens to what the Gruffalo’s Child is looking for, and then decides to reveal his big bad secret!
A special bonus feature on the DVD is a special behind-the-scenes look at the movie!
MY THOUGHTS
I received a copy of The Gruffalo’s Child. I enjoyed this DVD as much as I enjoyed the first one, The Gruffalo. Once again this DVD contained beautiful coloring and wonderful animation. In this story The Gruffalo tells his child that it’s dangerous to go into the woods alone, because of scary creatures like the big bad mouse, who has qualities of the snake, fox and owl. It doesn’t take long for The Gruffalo’s Child’s curiosity to get the better of her and for her to sneak out into the woods at night while The Gruffalo sleeps. The Gruffalo’s Child encounters the snake, fox and owl and asks about the big bad mouse. The Gruffalo’s Child finally encounters the mouse, and tries to be brave. Frightened she heads for home. Will she make it home safely or will the big bad mouse get her? You’ll have to watch to find out. I recommend this DVD highly, the narration of the story is wonderful as is the storyline.
